Forthcoming Paperback With a new afterword by the author The Expanding Circle E, thics Evolution, and Moral Progress Peter Singer

“Singer’s of the expanding circle remains an enormously insightful , which reconciles the existence of human nature with political and moral progress. It was also way ahead of its time. . . . It’s wonderful to see this insightful book made available to a new generation of readers and scholars.” —Steven Pinker, author of The Blank Slate and The Stuff of Thought

“The Expanding Circle is a brilliant book whose significance becomes clearer every year. Peter Singer was the first major to see the importance of the new Darwinian insights into human nature, and in this book he applies them with characteristic power and grace.” —Robert Wright, author of The Moral Animal

What is ethics? Where do moral standards come from? Are they based on emotions, , or some innate sense of right and wrong? For many scientists, the key lies entirely in biol- ogy—especially in Darwinian of evolution and self-preservation. But if evolution is a struggle for survival, why are we still capable of altruism?

In his classic study The Expanding Circle, Peter Singer argues that altruism began as a genetically based drive to protect one’s kin and community members but has developed into a consciously chosen ethic with an expanding circle of moral concern. Drawing on philosophy and evolutionary psychology, he demonstrates that human ethics cannot be explained by biology alone. Rather, it is our capacity for reasoning that makes moral progress possible.

Peter Singer is the Ira W. DeCamp Professor of Bioethics in the University Center for Human Values at and Laureate Professor at the University of Melbourne.

New With an introduction by Stephen Macedo in Life and Why It Matters Susan Wolf With commentary by John Koethe, Robert M. Adams, Nomy Arpaly & Jonathan Haidt

“Susan Wolf’s picture of what makes life meaningful is at once powerful and down to earth, deeply argued but unpretentious. Part of Wolf’s persuasive force comes from her stylish prose and cool treat- ment of profound concerns. This book is absorbing and a pleasure to read.” —Kieran Setiya, University of Pittsburgh

Most people, including philosophers, tend to classify human motives as falling into one of two categories: the egoistic or the altruistic, the self-interested or the moral. According to Susan Wolf, however, much of what motivates us does not comfortably fit into this scheme. Often we act neither for our own sake nor out of duty or an impersonal concern for the world. Rather, we act out of love for objects that we rightly perceive as worthy of love—and it is these actions that give meaning to our lives. Written in a lively and engaging style, and full of provocative examples, Meaning in Life and Why It Matters is a profound and original reflection on a subject of permanent human concern.

Susan Wolf is the Edna J. Koury Professor of Philosophy at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill.

“Withn a excellent selection of papers by all the classical pragmatists and a very well judged collection of pieces by more recent philosophers sympathetic to pragmatism, this superb volume provides mate- rial for a successful course on pragmatism and also offers readers a fascinating overview of its varieties.” —Christopher Hookway, University of Sheffield

The Pragmatism Reader is the essential anthology of this important philosophical movement. Each selection featured here is a key writing by a leading pragmatist thinker, and represents a distinctively pragmatist approach to a core philosophical problem. The collection includes work by pragmatism’s founders, Charles Peirce, , and , as well as seminal writings by mid-twentieth-century pragmatists such as Sidney Hook, C. I. Lewis, Nelson Goodman, , , and W.V.O. Quine. This reader also includes the most important work in con- temporary pragmatism by philosophers like Susan Haack, Cornel West, , Richard Rorty, Cheryl Misak, and Robert Brandom. Each selection is a stand-alone piece—not an excerpt or book chapter—and each is presented fully unabridged.

Robert B. Talisse is professor of philosophy at Vanderbilt University. Scott F. Aikin is senior lecturer in philosophy at Vanderbilt.

Forthcoming E co-Republic What the Ancients Can Teach Us about Ethics, Virtue, and Sustainable Living Melissa Lane

“This is a provocative and powerful book. Lane recommends the ethical vision of Greek antiquity rather than a of individuals following legal rules. Such a vision is, Lane argues, a sustainable one—bringing ethics, ecol- ogy, and politics together.” —Justin Champion, Royal Holloway, University of London

An ecologically sustainable society cannot be achieved without citizens who possess the virtues and values that will foster it, and who believe that individual actions can indeed make a . Eco-Republic draws on ancient Greek thought—and Plato’s Republic in particular—to put forward a new vision of citizenship that can make such a society a reality.

Forthcoming The Ethics of Voting Jason Brennan

“Brennan’s book is provocative in the best sense of the word—a fresh and challenging approach to important matters in political theory and . It is also a remarkably accessible book that manages to capture nuances and subtleties without unnecessary complication or jargon. In these respects, The Ethics of Voting is a model of how political philosophy should proceed.” —Richard Dagger, University of Richmond

Nothing is more integral to democracy than voting. Most people believe that every citizen has the civic duty or moral obligation to vote, that any sincere vote is morally acceptable, and that buying, selling, or trading votes is inherently wrong. In this provocative book, Jason Brennan challenges our fundamental assumptions about voting, revealing why it is not a duty for most citizens—in fact, he argues, many people owe it to the rest of us not to vote.

Jason Brennan is assistant professor of philosophy at Brown University.

Art of the Modern Age Philosophy of Art from Kant to Heidegger Jean-Marie Schaeffer

“Art of the Modern Age is an important contribution to the field, and its readership should not be lim- ited to philosophers. While Schaeffer is not afraid to do the necessary detail work, he never gets mired in issues of merely scholastic interest.” —F. L. Rush, Bookforum

This is a sweeping and provocative work of aesthetic theory: a trenchant critique of the philosophy of art as it developed from the eighteenth century to the early twentieth century, combined with a carefully reasoned plea for a new and more flexible approach to art.

“This clear and carefully written book does an excellent job of explaining the importance and histori- cal context of an interesting work by a major nineteenth-century philosopher. The author’s knowledge of the primary text, Fichte’s other texts, and the relevant secondary literature is impeccable. This book will greatly interest intellectual historians and historians of philosophy who specialize in nineteenth- century European thought.” —Frederick Neuhouser, Barnard College,

This book presents an important new account of ’s Closed Commercial State, a major early nineteenth-century development of Rousseau and Kant’s political thought. Isaac Nakhimovsky shows how Fichte reformulated Rousseau’s constitutional politics and radicalized the economic implications of Kant’s theory with his defense of the right to work.

Isaac Nakhimovsky is a junior research fellow at Emmanuel College, University of Cambridge.
